There is a GIGANTIC gap that is wide open for Foxtel or the networks to fill. Footy media is 10 years behind the coaches and strategies.
Outside of game day coverage, we get served two types of AFL shows:
1. Chuckling Morons - boofy ex-players, sad comedians, token women, all chortling and overacting. There's a big market for this stuff.
....Bounce, Up The Guts, Footy Show (RIP) The Front Bar, Beep Test, Marngrook Footy Show, Sunday Footy Show.
2. Talkfests - ex-players and journo's look serious, superficial analysis, random stats, gossip, AFL Atrocity of The Week.
....Footy Classified, AFL 360, On The Couch, Talking Footy, On The Mark, Weekend Lowdown.
Serious Analysis - what coaches like Clarkson and assistants like Blake Caracella focus on. Deep breakdowns of teams, oppo, and game plans.
Well beyond the usual trivia of disposals, i50's, stoppages, etc. Most data on TV shows has little correlation to wins. It's fairy floss.
It's not "On The Couch's 'couch gems', a 1 min segment with random AFL stats. Or David King using a few CD stats on 360.
The analysis is analytical and structured. It tells you in depth why teams win, lose, game styles, which players are executing it, or not.
AFL teams do this analysis every week. Where is this on TV?.......... Nowhere.
Yes this could be a boring show unless handled well. Yes this will not appeal to all AFL fans. Yes it will require a brave programming exec.
We have 15+ AFL TV shows. We have fully catered to the needs of stupid people and those who prefer empty but lengthy discussions.
Someone smart and brave in TV Land should see the gap. Fill it with a show focused on serious AFL analysis.
